Readzit was founded on a simple but unsettling realization: we all read less and less. This article reflects on what that means and the far-reaching consequences when stop to read!

When we all stop to read

The demand for instant and constant new content is shifting and shrinking our attention spans, and with that the practice of reading—deep, intentional, sustained reading—will quietly vanish. If this happens, the consequences will not just be personal. They will reshape our societies, our economies, and even our future as a species.

The decline of reading will mean the erosion of critical thinking, imagination, and the cultural fabric that binds generations together. In a few short decades, entire populations will grow up without the mental energy to process complex ideas.
